It will heat faster with the pump running... sort of. The issue is thermoclines. Water of a particualr temperature has a specific density. Cooler water is more dense than hot water, so hot water tends to rise and cold water tends to sink. This process creates what is called stratification. With the hot water on top, it creates the opportunity for much of that heat to radiate back into the air before it has the chance to transfer some of that heat into the colder temperature water below. If you want to heat the entire pool to a uniform temperature, turn the pump on. If you want the deep end to be colder than the shallow end, leave it off.

∙ 15y agoIt would seem that the small amount of friction created by the Impeller turning in the water would help add heat to the Pool Water.

∙ 14y agoIt heats better with the cover on because more heat gets trapped inside..

∙ 11y agoIt is better to leave it on if you are going to not use it for awhile. If you are going to use it soon, don't even both. Follow me on instagram, @steinwagner

Will a black tarp cut in a circle and connected to floating tubes on the outside of the tarp heat ones small pool In hopes to catch the heat rays as they are bouncing out of the pool?
At night yes. During sunny days, you will be better off removing the cover or using a clear cover.
What should you do if your pool cover has sunk into the pool around the pool pillow?
You must first DRAIN the water off the pool cover!! Get a hose or plastic tube (available from most pet stores (fish department) and syphon off the water. This will take th weight of the water off the cover so you can lift it off of the pool.
How much heat does a swimming pool lose?
A swimming pool can lose up to 90% of it's stored heat over night if not insulated. I'm a big fan of liquid insulators, versus taking on and off a thermal or solar cover.

Which area will cool off faster at night the desert or an ocean town?
A desert will cool off much more quickly as there is little humidity or cloud cover that would hold in the heat of the day.
Helpful Tips for Maintaining Pool Safety Covers?
Pool safety is extremely important for you and your loved ones. As much fun as a pool in your backyard can be, a pool safety cover for the off season is an absolute must. Here are some useful tips to put to use on your pool in the off season. The portion of your pool or deck area that will come into contact with your pool safety cover should be protected by padding. Neglecting the padding can cause friction between your pool cover and the wood of your deck or the metal edge of your pool. Prolonged friction can cause your pool safety cover to wear down or tear. Be careful maintaining your pool, even if the pool safety cover is in place. Keep your pool safety cover taut, and if necessary make adjustments throughout the season.
Do you use a solar cover during the day to heat the pool or at night to keep the heat in the water or use it all the time if you are not swimming in the pool?
Leave the solar cover on - day and night. During the day, cover will absorb the heat from the sun and transfer that heat directly into the water. At night, the cover will help to retain the heat absorbed during the day and reduce evaporation. Hope this helps ... The original purpose of a solar cover is the ability to have the sun (err, solar) heat the pool thru the cover. If the cover is off during the day and on at nite you've wasted a $100+. C'mon, lets use a little common sense.
What time of day do you put the pool cover on?
at night before u go 2 bed Or The pool cover , I think, would be on when the pool is not in use. Also, the cover should be off for a period of the day after you add chemicals to the water. The water needs to "gas off" after the addition of chemicals. k
Can you cover a pool with algae in it?
Yes. It will also heat the pool quickly. A thermometer may be needed to let you know when to remove the cover and cool the water-- otherwise the warm water will grow algae quickly when the cover is left off.
Is the solar blanket more efficient on or off the pool when the sun is shining on the water?
On, it does not stop the sun from heating the water, it holds the heat in though. ( evaporation cools it quickly and the cover prevents this )
What are you measuring when you take the temperature outside?
You are measuring the amount of heat given off by the environment which include factors such as the sun, cloud cover, precipitation, and other. But essentially it is just how fast the molecules in the air are moving and the faster they are moving then they will get off more heat. (Not to be confused with wind)
